1st REAL attempt at Water Marbling

Okay, so I've played around before with 1 nail here and there, but never actually sat down, watched a tutorial video, and tried it, the proper way, lol. I decided to try it, since an awesome follower, Crystal, suggested I do. So thanks Crystal!! I didn't take photos as I went, because I was just trying it, to see if I could even half way do it. Maybe next time I will, but there are TONS of youtube videos out there to show you how. For this I first did a base coat of Sinful's Black on Black, and for the marbling colors I used the same black and China Glaze's Re-Fresh Mint. I just might have to try another one these soon!!

    It looks great Erika. i'm too chicken to try it even though i have watched u tube tutorials, i can imagine i would create such a mess but my husband is mad for me to try it after watching a tutorial with me.

    Thanks ladies!!! I have to say, I was scared to really try it too. When I had played around before, trying it with one nail, I FAILED big time. But actually watching the videos, and doing a base color first really helped!

    This looks great! when water marbling came to my attention - no one used a base colour first their tutorials, I'm trying to branch out with my nail-art and just copied your patchwork mani yesterday - when i try marbling i will be using a base colour.

    than you so much for sharing all your cool ideas; love the patchwork mani, the squares and the lazer one with the thin strips of tape!!!!!1

    Thanks ladies!!!!

    Welcome Chloe!!!!

    Lois, I know!! I can't believe I'm almost to 1000!!! Thanks!!

    Deez Nailz, I saw your patchwork!! You did great and I love the colors. Yeah, when I first heard of water marbling,no one used a base, but that is what made it soooo much easier!

    Jan, welcome and thanks!!! Yeah, a base color is the key!

    Everything related to nail polish that you touch is golden. My first water marbling took 2 hours, and it still didn't look good. Never again.

    Your nails look like Frango mints! : D

    Yay!! I'm so glad you did this! These colors are amazing. You always make black look elegant!! Your nails are perfect as always! Cannot wait to see other combos!!! I may try yours with some bright teal swirled in too! I think I'm on a teal kick now, I saw two China Glaze colors that are sooo gorgeous! Awesome first attempt - glad I could persuade you!!!!!!
    Oh! And I tried the Sally Hansen Moisturizing remover!! I love it, not as strong of odor and worked quickly! Thanks again!
    Also, I bought a glass nail file, Sinful Black on Black, and China Glaze White on White :-) Thank you so much for your suggestions and help!
